COTE: A Man On A Mission II Love is War?

“This island is very big!”
　　
"Even though I recorded the video, I still can't find the right direction!”

"Wait a minute, Sakura, please step back a bit....damn it, yes, just right there!”

“??” Kushida. 'Hey, boss...what are you doing?'

She was really getting suspicious about this Hikigaya-kun's motives.

“A white tower here. You see... that, it's very high.. If I can just live on this post, we can see quite far away”

"Mas-Hikigaya-kun! speaking of camping, I saw many places that are good to make tents!”

Indeed, when Hachiman typed scary words to Sakura, that girl was really afraid, then directly hurried over, even holding a pink camera inside her chest.

Started to violate the island, from every angle, not leaving a single post untouched.

After the fest was over, everyone
just returned to Suzune’s cabin, taking away her privacy.

Only this time, Hachiman didn't throw her away, besides Suzune is already used to this kind of behaviour, even Kushida was feeling happy inside, for being a privileged girl of entering her co-worker's dorm.

Especially, after that wet incident..

'I really thought, Horikita-san will ban me from entering her room again!'

But, looking at the situation now, Kushida thought her luck has really become much better these days

~Hehe~ Only, who felt a little uncomfortable was Sakura, her camera is now being passed around.

Fortunately, what they saw was not her nude selfies, but the video of Deserted Island that people could hardly see from the deck of the ship.

Phew! Sakura felt quite relieved, but she also knew that Horikita-san is very perverted, and might grope her chests out of nowhere.

Indeed, this girl is on a very high alert!

There are even rumours of Kushida-san losing her virginity, forced to blow the seniors, and learn information.

But, looking at her now, Sakura understood, these rumours are most likely true, because Kushida-san knows so much about the customary first-year program of taking a Luxury Liner to start a group life on a Deserted island.

Although the test questions will be different, many similarities can also be expected.
　　
That’s why Hachiman borrowed so many books related to camping, and even forced Suzune to recite them at night.

And, now the announcement told everyone to move over the deck to watch the island, and the ship is also moving in a dignified manner.

Which resulted in Hachiman thinking, School wanted people to discover more information about the island.

What he could learn is the approx demographic area, some terrains and layouts that are very suitable for camping.
　
There are water flows (rivers), caves, and even a tower that looks similar to a lighthouse.

"We don't know the test questions yet!” Hachiman looked up from the camera, and stared at one of his workers.

“So Horikita, I order you to concentrate on remembering the locations, suitable for camping!” he didn't want to do this hard labour.

“??” Sakura's head immediately snapped in Hikigaya-kun's direction, with her mouth open, very surprised.

“This... I will work hard!” Suzune's eyes started to look much brighter, she didn't want to become a freeloader, and drag her class down.
　
But, it also made Kushida look at her boss strangely.

'Did he just entrusted such an important task to a cold patient Horikita-san?'

'Don’t you need me, a healthy person?'

Kushida started to become a little dazed... Hikigaya-kun may be holding a grudge against her....

Of course, she didn't know this was just Hachiman's thoughtfulness.

'Kushida hasn't vented her pressure recently, and then got confessed by Ike....Her attack on me earlier, must be a way to release the pressure inside her fragile heart!'

Then, if Hachiman forced her to work even harder such as remember things, her pressure cooker will probably explode soon.
　　
'In this way, I am only adjusting the detonation time of her bomb....'
　
This is the kind of gentleness that only belongs to Hachiman.

What is equally gentle is that Hachiman only said this deliberately...

'I was just kidding earlier....would not force a patient like Horikita to remember these contents...'
　　
Even though earlier at the bar, Suzune's attack power increased drastically, this girl has now become just utterly stupid....

In this way, Hachiman is the one who is really doing hard memory work....

'I am very gifted in the liberal arts..'
　　
For example, in the Japanese language subject, Hachiman felt that if he tried hard enough, he would not lose to Horikita....

'This is my specialty.'
　　
Even the memory aspect is also very strong..... Hachiman just didn't want to do work like a slave, always thinking about being lazy, throwing his portion of work to his free secretaries.

'Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to remember so much dark history....'

'So, the act of entrusting Horikita just now was actually to make her think that, she herself was useful....'

Otherwise, Horikita would just have been stuck in the exam, and her already tired body will become a parcel to be carried around.

That's why Hachiman, who finally pulled this girl up from her brother's shadow, didn't want her to just fall down in the pit again.
　　
It's really necessary to give her some positive encouragement occasionally.
　　
The road to promotion is difficult for Hachiman, but it may be easier to join a group of people.

Just maintaining a fake relationship and getting them to help is also a very crucial skill.
　　
Originally, Hachiman also invited Hirata to watch the video and take notes, but he went to help Yukimura.

His bio data....Um? Let's see...

Full name Yukimura Teruhiko, a top student in my class.

In our PE class, this boy was just pitiful, but I shouldn't underestimate the power of a guy, wearing black frame glasses.
　　
Class Ranking of Academic power-

Koenji is first, Horikita is second, and Yukimura is third.

'It's a boy, whom I should pay attention to, but Hirata already went to help the other party.'

It was obviously a special exam, but this mother was more disturbed about her children.

'So, this is also Hirata's weakness....'
　　
Even though he will try his best to help people when there's trouble, but this may get out of hand at any time.

'Also, the reason why I didn't find Karuizawa is because, only Horikita knew about her being my insider....Kushida didn't know her yet.'

Even though Karuizawa is very good and will follow orders to death....just like Sakayanagi's dog, Kamuro-san.

But, what cannot be done....

'I can't just order her to get into Tokyo University.... Karuizawa will 100% fail her task.'

People also have limits, not everyone is a monster like Koenji.

While thinking about just being an ordinary high school teenager, there was a radio yelling in the cabin.

"Dear students, please note, we are going to land on the island in half an hour.

All students are requested to change into their sportswear, confirm their toiletry backpacks, luggage, and bring their mobile phones on the deck.

In addition to your personal belongings, just put all of them in your rooms!”

This kind of announcement, was being made on the cruise ship, numerous times.

'In other words, there is only 30 minutes of recording time left....!'
　　
Somewhat urgent, it made Hachiman begin to concentrate even more?!
　　
Although Kushida was not entrusted, she was also carefully watching the video taken by Sakura, it doesn't match with her complaints about being paid very low.

　
That's why, Hachiman felt that, she was not carefully recording locations suitable for camping or areas on the island that seemed to require attention.

Instead, looking for places that are off the beaten track....where Kushida can go and just kick the railings.

'Well, I am going to live together on the island, so my pressure will definitely increase again, then venting must be needed to be put on the schedule.

Besides, I also have some kind of talent to find places, where no one has come.'

“.....” Hachiman. 'Thank you for her monologue....but, it's not the right time to dream about Kushida?!'

In this way, he just started to watch over the recording for the 11th time.
